Canadian federal elections have provided the following results in the Laurentides, Outaouais and Northern Quebec.

Regional Profile

The Outaouais is one of the most federalist areas of Quebec outside of Montreal because of the large population of civil servants; however, once one gets into Northern Quebec and the Laurentides it is Bloc Québécois territory. Only in a recent by-election were the Liberals able to get the traditionally Bloquiste riding of Temiscamingue, having previously gained the northern riding of Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik in 1997. Abitibi voted Social Credit in 1979. Hull has been the only riding that survived Brian Mulroney's winnings in Quebec, as it went Liberal in both 1984 and 1988. Gatineau was the only other Liberal riding in 1988. In 2006, however, everything changed as Liberal support melted here; the party lost two of their three Outaouais seats – one to the Bloc and one to the Conservatives. The Liberals have become the third party in most ridings here and will be trying to defend their remaining seat, while the Conservatives try to eat into Bloc support.
